HTC Desire X Review
Score: 55.8 / 100
HTC Desire X is a good quality phone launched in August 2012, packing a great performance Dual-Core CPU ticking at 1000 MHz, a 4" capacitive touch-screen and a 5 MP back side camera. But let's get into more details.
The HTC Desire X is powered by a great performance Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1000 megahertz, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play MSM8225 chip and 768 MB of RAM memory. Collaborating with graphic rendering, this cellphone also counts with a 245 MHz Adreno 203 GPU. This cellphone counts with a decent 4 GB internal memory, which is adequate for most users considering that it also has an external memory card slot .
Apparently HTC didn't care so much about the weight in this 4.02 ounces phone. This cellphone is just 0.37" thick, making it one of the thinnest phones out there.
HTC designed the HTC Desire X with a interesting 4" display, and a 800 x 480 resolution, which makes all photos and videos look great. Its display uses S-LCD 2 capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
This cellphone is only equipped with a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera. It is also able to shoot 720x480 videos. In addition, this cellphone's camera also includes lots of interesting characteristics: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.
This phone offers Wi-Fi capability (and it can provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
This phone also comes with a couple of interesting features such as Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices and accessories) and GPS, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
This phone uses a 1650 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion battery, which is not really enough for a cellphone like this. HTC reports a stand by time of 750 hours and a talk time of 20 hs for this phone.
This device is priced around 135 dollars, not a really offer for this type of device. No matter if you will use this phone for playing games or are looking for a phone to mainly use social networks, you will definitely love this device.
